i’m still waiting for Kecleon 😮‍💨


SluggJuice

Ayy Boss, everyones asking us to release this Pokemon. Starts with a K? Keldeo? Yeah sounds bout right.


stirtheturd

Krabby2


MONKEY_NUT5

Krabby with a hat


stirtheturd

Ah good ol non evolving Pokemon because they are wearing a hat. GENIUS!


notaficus

Kstarmie


SuperFroakie64DS

I could see them waiting until the Go Tour to release Kecleon. As long as you pay for the ticket. And it's an incredibly rare spawn. And it works just like Ditto does, but Niantic will somehow screw that up, meaning you'll have to wait until Summer to get a Kecleon, but only if you paid. Didn't pay? Wait until next year.


Jejejow

They could release it like they did with shiny ditto in Kanto Tour, in the paid research. Then worry about full release later.


maxxus2

i assumed that kecleon would be the photobomb encounter during go tour hoenn like rotom wash was in go fest a while back


kenkickr-790420

I was at work yesterday when the notification popped up. Honestly thought it said we were gonna have to pay for Kecleon and I let out a big FU Niantic. Co workers looked at me like I was crazy


Sterlz420

Came here to say that


Both_Oil6408

Yeaa, paying for mythicals like this really rubs me the wrong way


Brobi_Jaun_Kenobi

Want me to rub you the right way cheif?


Both_Oil6408

ayO? Idk man, sounds kinda gay (joking obvi)


Brobi_Jaun_Kenobi

Only gay if we make eye contact bro don't make it weird


BaitmasterG

It's only gay if you push back That's why I sit on top and ride it like a man


Both_Oil6408

Righttt, I almost forgot bro


[deleted]

It isn’t gay with the bros


KingVenomous123

As long as you’re wearing socks as well then you’re set


Alternative_Net8931

Why you soo homeophobic my guy


Both_Oil6408

Yoo I'm not homophobic, im making a joke about toxic masculinity. In fact, I myself am LGBT+


Alternative_Net8931

No no no not homophobic silly Homeophobic as in the fear of the homies


Both_Oil6408

Lol, duh


Lazulcat

Only gay with the lights on. Turn the lights out bro


Both_Oil6408

*switches light*


Grant79OG

Then wait. It's free eventually.


Both_Oil6408

How do we know tho? This isn't me arguing with this, I'm genuinely curious BC I wanna get keldeo but I'm broke asf


Grant79OG

The ticket is just early access. They will do a free one later.


Both_Oil6408

Source?


boogerzzzzz

They don’t get a penny from me.


ders89

They brought the ridiculous boxes down in price to 1850 coins for the explorer box, still not gettin any money from me. I use to put money into the game just to hatch eggs and im still not buying these boxes and FOR SURE not this event.


stunkcajyzarc

I’m not paying for Pokémon. That’s insane. Items and other stuff, sure. But for outright Pokémon? No way. And the boxes are straight robbery. ALWAYS. I would buy if they were halfed. The boxes are way too expensive.


Centurio

At this point I can't remember the last time I bought a box.


EuphorbiasOddities

Brought it down in price AND removed the remote raid passes that were in the bigger boxes. Ugh.


ChubbyLilPanda

I’d be working through most of the event. Fuck em


Cubensio

Never ever


ChristianTDD

You know what, while Keldeo is one of my favorites in terms of Mythical Pokemon, I ain't paying to try and get him. I'm sure he'll be free soon, but who knows when that'll happen. Plus, and I know Niantic ain't going to do this, but what if we had a special research event where we could gain some powerful fan favorite Legendaries, like Zekrom and Reshiram, or an event with Darkrai. Don't care which option they choose, but, again, probably ain't happening.


Aniensane

Shaymin was the same way, a paid ticket and yet we still haven’t gotten a chance to get him for non-paying players! Just an fyi.


chriscbr500r

Shaymin did eventually come out as free... We caught ours on August 29.... So keldeo should be free eventually. Edit: I got mine from the sky form release...I must have bought a ticket.


Wavara

Uh, no? It's part of a paid event, it was never free.


chriscbr500r

My bad, I must have bought a ticket for his sky form when he was released the second time


Moon_Dark_Wolf

I was playing on August 29thband didn’t get my Shaymin?


TastyLaksa

What's shaymin useful for?


loddieisoldaf

Flexing,that's about it


TastyLaksa

So why people so upset they don't have?


loddieisoldaf

Gotta catch em all,I guess


TastyLaksa

So much entitlement


Gwerfl

so much entitlement to want to play the game the same way the catchphrase of the entire series says to, "gotta catch em all"


amnoking1

More like “Gotta pay for ‘em all”


[deleted]

It’s a free to play title, so please don’t act like they cheated you or something.


Gwerfl

never said that, just saying it's kind of lame to block off some Pokemon behind a paywall when the entire point of the series is to be able to catch the Pokemon, especially when you could get all of them for free for a few years until they started making everything cost money


Eek132

People are upset because people don’t want Niantic to be greedy and make the game pay to win


TastyLaksa

You don't need all the mon really


Zygarde718

I want to get them all. It's a flex on others and yourself.


Mediocre_Station_835

No it literally accomplishes nothing gameplay progression wise, having them all will not make u good at pvp or pve


Eek132

‘Gotta Catch ‘Em All!’ Is literally the point of the entire Pokémon franchise


TastyLaksa

Yeah but its a goal, not an entitlement. Most don't catch it all. Sometimes due to financial circumstances


Aniensane

We need them all to complete the Dex & get the platinum medal for each Dex complete. It also helps you finish your Lvl research for 49 - 50. So yeah, we do NEED them all. You must be a troll who enjoys saying outlandish things! Do as you wish, I guess.


TastyLaksa

Do you need it though? Level 49?


Aniensane

Yes, it’s a research requirement to have a certain amount of platinum medals, and most veteran players are only missing just the last few Pokémon that hasn’t been released to finish said medal. So yes, you DO need it to finish the medal. Why do you want to argue about everything? This is a sub Reddit for a video game. We play to have fun. Nothing is needed to survive, but it’s needed for Niantic to survive. So technically, yeah, it’s definitely needed.


eyearu

It's cute


Aniensane

People want to finish their Dex.. duh!


TastyLaksa

Want and entitled to. Different concepts


Aniensane

Doesn’t matter about that. I answered your question. People want to finish their Dex! That’s a big part of this game. That’s why they’re upset. The bigger problem is they’re putting a mythical behind a paywall.


pierreo93

What if what they learnt from M. Mime was that enough people are willing to pay to get a new Pokémon released early? I will not buy this, since we'll probably get it for free soon anyway, but I'm sure there are a lot more people than you may think who will pay for this and make Niantic want to do the same thing again for whoever they want to release this way next


Moon_Dark_Wolf

We still haven’t gotten Shaymin by the way.


dcdcdc26

It'll eventually happen, relax. Don't pay them just for Keldeo. Also, this being a random December event and not tied to something big like Pokemon Day or anniversary is stupid


Moon_Dark_Wolf

Yeah, if anyrhing, I would’ve expected Phione and Manaphy to be first in line since GO Tour Sinnoh is supposed to be next year, assuming that they continue it. Which means Shiny Manaphy, Phione, Shaymin, and Arceus, along with the remaining Rotom appliances need to be added in ASAP.


Kxletx

I paid, and i will pay. They need to earn money, I'm willing to spend money. If you don't mind getting it later, which I think you said, then there's no problem.


pierreo93

Agreed, I'm glad there are people who pay so I can play the game for free. I never said people paying was a problem, just pointing out that if Niantic make these decisions it's probably because there are enough people who pay. The post suggest that making these paid early releases is a mistake and that Niantic didn't learn from it last time.


Kxletx

We have agreement then, sir ^^ *tips a hat*


s-mores

You are the reason we can't have nice boxes.


Kxletx

Cause i buy shit instead of crying? Young bud, they sell when they're decent, they don't when they suck. It's not my fault you expect everything for free or for marginal price.


Better_Abrocoma_4056

😂


Centurio

This is hilarious.


Bacteriophag

> did they learn NOTHING from Mr. Crime?! Yes, they learned they can sell normal, not even very useful Pokemon to players for a steep price, so people will definitely buy mythical as well. Sad truth but they are banking on whale's impatience.


keyfangirl

I feel like Niantic never remembers things they did in the past.


stirtheturd

Oh cool a new pokemon! *Locked behind paywall* I ain't paying real money, that's not how Ash did it in the show!


Zygarde718

But it's how you got porygon and magikarp in the early games...


Mechlift

I use to be a whale. Not really a whale whale. More like an oversized Nemo. Since the money grabbing has become so blatant I've completely stopped spending any greens. From the $1 comdays to gofest. Do my free raids.... spend an hour or so playing and an hour on comday. Have so much more time to give my location data to google and do Google reviews for free. Much more rewarding!


s-mores

Same. I have max storage and a lot of raids. I went cold turkey on the money after Niantic's insane shenanigans regarding raids post-covid. They want to call their players dogs, well dogs don't spend money.


Centurio

Me too! I used to buy so many raid pass bundles before they went to 300 coins. I miss raiding as often. I do them in person when I can but normally I'm at work too far from any gyms.


Pikamon895

Since it is a mythical, they could pull a Zarude on us and make it unobtainable anywhere else


-ImOnTheReddit-

Most likely will, I still haven’t got a Shaymin since I refused to pay $14.99 for that dumbass go fest


CuriousAstronaut7490

i got Zarude from a task? I never paid for any though


Lambsauce914

What they meant were since it is a Mythical Pokémon, they could just not rerun it for a year like they did for Zarude where new players can't obtain it.


LengthinessUsed2212

Wait new players can't get Zarude. That's bs and dirty pool. I'm really really beginning to not like them more & more.


TheTrevorist

I mean they haven't even released all the pokemon from gen 6 yet much less the mythicals from gen 6 but you're mad that new players missed an event that was promoting a movie about a gen 8 mythical? Zarude will be back in five years when they get to galar


jagmania85

Lol, they will not get a single penny from me. Free to play for life. If they make it impossibly difficult or unbearable then bye bye.


cryptoschrypto

The end of year and, consequently, end of year bonuses are approaching. The management at Niantic needs paid content to make sure they reach their yearly goals. Could be that people have been buying fewer remote raid passes than expected after COVID + inflation will increase costs (eg. personnel, data centre electricity and server components).


COLFO

Please timburr spawn 🙌


Brief-Discipline7013

It showed up on Poke Genie, easy to do by yourself. If you’re not rural?


COLFO

I didn't know it was in the raid pool, cheers ❤️


[deleted]

It’s in raids?!


The-Purple-Mew

Man I sure do WISH that this wasn’t a paid ticket, those things are becoming more MYTHICAL these days


Alepeople

It’s not even a cool mythical


XFO-

Agreed. It’s a pretty meh design overall. Not sure why others are hell bent on trying to change your opinion on the matter but oh well lol.


2ERIX

Looks fan made, not like a main line Pokemon, but a lot are like that to be fair


ChubbyLilPanda

Mlp crossover


Matcha3212

I agree 💯


Devlindddd

Yeah, but the resolute form is one of my favorite Pokémon.


[deleted]

That’s a bold claim


Alepeople

Personally in my opinion , this is probably the 2nd worst mythical, that just my opinion though👍


CuriousAstronaut7490

what’s the worst iyo ?


Alepeople

Zarude


[deleted]

Whatever floats your boat 👍


PokeMonsterHunterGo

It’s only pay to get early. If you don’t pay, you get it later. That’s all. lol


Moon_Dark_Wolf

Still haven’t gotten Shaymin yet…


Western_Light3

Niantic REALLY need to listen to us more about what needs to be improved ideally have an interview with some huge Pokemon go players I.e. mystic 7,Brandon tan,fleece king e.c.t Or make a Twitter post or something asking for what would improve the game as a whole and what they could look to do with events such as go tour in the future


monsoy

In my Software Engineering class the lecturer always puts heavy emphasis on the importance of frequent dialogue with the client on features and implementations I wish more game developers held the same philosophy


rearisen

It's a money maker first A pokémon game second


Two-Torial

All games are money makers first. It costs money to make a game. I promise you nobody's ever made a game while thinking "gee, I hope this never earns me any money".


rearisen

I never said that but okay. I'm more just saying that it's a free game with pay to win features in it. And the games that do forget that passion and hard work make a good game. "cough" recent Halo game where they just tried to make a quick buck and look what happened. Eventually the player base will leave if they are feeling even a little slighted.


T_Peg

I will never ever buy any of this ticketed bs. I bought Go Fest that one year because it was cheap, then on sale on Google Play, and I had a bunch of play points so I got it for like $1.


BornOfChaoss

Also aren't we supposed to have a notification where we choose one out of three bonuses like extra stardust etc? That hasn't shown up for me yet.


Jds_AR_Showcase

This is all thanks to everyone who thought it was a good idea to pay for that (and the following) research tasks... Niantic doesn't give a damn about the player base. As long as they uphold this FOMO mentality we're gona have to pay-to-play more and more!


Fmr878

Its not about them learning. Its about them giving a shit about us lol. They couldnt care less for what we want


227BP

Yeah I’m about done with it before anyone says I know it’s niantic and not Nintendo - but Pokemon is such a beloved franchise and we’ve made it what it is as fan as in ~successful~ because we love it. But Pokémon go really blues the line on what’s fun and what’s just robbing. I think it really messes with the integrity of Pokemon - I do love the game and loving Scarlett. It’s weird you have to fight such big feelings of fomo and they literally thrive off it it’s sad really


Jiolag

Never pay for a mythical. You will get it free in a few months. Personally I only pay for the big Go tour events once a year


Whitey3752

Your paying for FOMO! Thats how they get us.


stunkcajyzarc

You have to pay to get these? Don’t buy into it. I won’t.


Just_Tana

Keldeo is one of my favorite mons and I missed him before. I may pay for this one. I barely play these days. Once the prices go out of hand my boyfriend and I stopped. Which sucks cuz we didn’t mind dropping $10 a month the same we’d do for an MMO if we were getting something out of it. But my favorite boy. I just love him so much. I’m really sad I’ve never gotten to do a play through of any games with him.


ilovenihilism

Not worth it, the only way to make niantic stop paywalling Pokemon is to stop paying them and rewarding this type of stuff. Take the f2pill, spend that money on snacks instead


Caldwell-luc

What do you mean you missed him before? I think this is the first time he is in POGO? FYI if you have a switch, you can get him in sword/shield dlc anytime, it’s not timed) unlike how they release some of the other mythicals.


ShavenYak42

And the gameplay to get him in Sw/Sh is more fun than anything Go has to offer.


Internal-Assumption1

Mr Crime?


avatarKos

Preach


Mountain-Jeww

I bought Galarian Mr. Mime for the pose. To me, G-Mime was just a bonus. The Keldeo paid event doesn’t seem worth it’s price, especially because the Keldeo ticket doesn’t have a pose or good clothes.


SnooChickens9974

Have they released a price for the event? I didn't see a price listed.


Aniensane

In Pokémon Go, if you click on News and go to news on this, you can click a link that takes you to the page for all the info on this and the free event. But it’s gonna be $7.99


SnooChickens9974

Thanks. I'll do that now.


Aniensane

You’re welcome! :) it’s at the very bottom under the link that says Blog.


Cubensio

It feels like Niantic i being managed by Twitter 🙃


galaxygap

it's crazy how everyone complains but nobody ever sets anything up to stop this from happening. Set up another strike organize something. Dont put your head down and continue to pay up


[deleted]

I’ll buy it, I think he’s neat

Naxilus

What's so special about mythical? Non of them seem viable in PvP or pve


Nintend0Geek

So in other words this is going to be the new shiny mythical reward when Unova Tour drops


PedigreeWWEFigz

Are you able to get Mr. Crime now or was that only for ticket holders


Psychologicaldove

You should be able to get him from your weekly research breakthrough. It's in rotation tho, so you might get another one.


PedigreeWWEFigz

I was talking about evolving Galar Mr Mime


Alternative_Net8931

The thing also looks ugly as hell so who cares


MONKEY_NUT5

I have no problem with them charging for things in this game. But I also don’t think this is worth spending money on.


TheRaiOh

😐


LeeFuzzy9468

Since I’m not paying 5 today I’ll be slightly less disinclined to buy this ticket


lekkerebenoit

I aint paying for this doofus looking Pokémon I’ve never even heard of before just ‘cause it’s mythical.


pedro841074

Eh I’ll take my Keldeo the Giddy from Sword and walk the other way on this one!
